Queen Snovari of Mini GlobelandWelcome to Mini Globeland. May the world be filled with globees! December 11 Invitation to Hong Kong for Taipo Mega MallHi Friends and fellow collectors,
I realized I have not been updating my space for a long long time. Sorry guys!
Last weekend, I was invited to host my first snowglobe exhibition in Hong Kong at theTaipo Mega Mall, one of the Sun Hung Kai properties.
More than 160 pieces of snowglobes is being showcase in this exhibtion and it lasts from the Dec 5th till Dec 28th.
At the grand opening ceremony on the 5th, 2 local celebrites, Sharon Chan and Tricia Chan were guests for the event. Together with me, we started the exhibition by placing 3 snowglobes on one of the exhibition stands.
The most popular snowglobes were the LV globe that was produced to commemorate the 1st year anniverary of the Champs-Elysees store opening, as well as my biggest snowglobe who has a diameter of 150mm. Last by not least, I have to feature my first snowglobe with the Cat and the Mouse which my husband gave to me as a Christmas present in 2000 and that's how I started my quest in snowglobe collecting.
Interesting, I have been interviewed by many local media, and I really felt "popular" at one point! Cool.
I will share some photos here with you all. Enjoy!

August 23 Rising's Snowglobe CollectionToby Lee is a collector from Lebanon and he started collecting snowglobes 3 years ago.At first he collected both plastic and glass globes but lately he decided that the glass ones are much prettier. Currently, Toby has around 100 glass globes mainly the 65mm and some mini globes and also some very big ones. His collection focus on locations and he also likes the Disney globes. Unfortunately, no globe is available in Lebanon and his collection adds up through his trips to different destinations and he counts on his colleagues to buy him globes as gifts when they visit other countries. He would also shop from the internet.
Toby is trying to make some of his own globe, and he is hoping to create globe of his country which will have in it the famous CEDAR of Lebanon and the CITADEL of BAALBAK. Please visit Toby's MSN space to check out his collection: http://rising59.spaces.live.com/default.aspx May 13 Patricia's CollectionPatricia Gougeon Snowglobe Collection

Starting this month, I am going to feature some photos from other snowglobe collectors and how they display their precious. This month, we have Snowdome Mania - Miriam's Snowdome collection. Visit her website to look at her collection!
July 22 Becoming an Official Guinness World Record HolderI have been notified by Guinness World Records last week that I have officially set the Guinness World Records for having the "Largest mini glass snowglobe collection in the world". Currently, I have over1200 pcs of mini snowglobes in my display room and the number is growing all the time.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all my family and friends for your continuous support. Without you, setting this record wouldn't be possible.
Now that I have achieved my 1st goal, I want to carry on with my 2nd goal, which is to set up a Snowglobe collector's club. The club would enable snowglobe collectors to share their thoughts and ideas, to trade, buy and sell snowglobes with each other, to exhibit your snowglobe collection and finally, to get to know others who share the same interest.
I will be sending out emails to snowglobe collectors with a bunch of questions for you to answer. If you don't mind, please fill in as much information as possible and I will feature you and your collection in this site. My ultimate goal is to build my own snowglobe collecting website if I have enough club member. At the moment, I will start small. Later, I would consider publishing bi-monthly or quarterly newsletters and even hold annual gatherings. I have many many thoughts in mind, let me think them through and I will share with you all later.
Your participation are much appreciated and I really look forward communicating with you real soon.
PS: Being a member of Mini Globeland is totally free of charge! So please join the club!
cheers, Queen Snovari of Mini Globeland |
